Sensible Reasons for Mergers
Economies of Scale
 A larger firm may be able to reduce its per unit cost by
 using excess capacity or spreading fixed costs across
 more units.
                             Reduces costs

Sensible Reasons for Mergers
       Economies of Scope or Vertical Integration
         – Control over suppliers “may” reduce costs.
         – Over integration can cause the opposite effect.
    Pre-integration                Post-integration

Sensible Reasons for Mergers
Combining Complementary Resources
  Merging may result in each firm filling in the
  “missing pieces” of their firm with pieces from
  the other firm.

Combining Complementary Resources
  Merging may result in each firm filling in the

  the other firm.
                 Firm A




               Firm B
Sensible Reasons for Mergers
Mergers as a Use for Surplus Funds
 If your firm is in a mature industry with few, if any,
 positive NPV projects available, acquisition may
 be the best use of your funds.
Dubious Reasons for Mergers
• Diversification
  – Investors should not pay a premium for
    diversification since they can do it themselves
• Empire Building
• EPS Game
  – EX: High PE firm buys Low PE firm -- resulting in
    higher EPS for merged firm (the bootstrap
    game)
Dubious Reasons for Mergers
     The Bootstrap Game

                            Selling firm has low P/E ratio (due to low
                            number of shares)


After merger, acquiring firm has short term
EPS rise


                                Long term, acquirer will have slower than
                                normal EPS growth due to share dilution.

Sensible Reasons for Mergers
• Unused Tax Shields
• More Debt Capacity
  – More Tax Shield
  – Lower BK Costs
Sensible Reasons for Mergers
• Inefficient Management (Agency Problems)
• Management Controls
  – Capital Markets (mergers, takeovers, LBOs)
• Other Managerial Controls
  – Board of Directors
  – Labor Markets (External & Internal)
  – Compensation Incentives (options)
Board of Directors
•   Independent?
•   Monitoring
•   Hire/Fire
•   Compensation
•   Strategic Planning
Estimating Merger Gains
• Questions
  – Is there an overall economic gain to the
    merger?
  – Do the terms of the merger make the company
    and its shareholders better off?

 PV(AB) > PV(A) + PV(B)
Estimating Merger Gains
 • Economic Gain
Economic Gain = PV(increased earnings)


                   New cash flows from synergies
              =
                           discount rate
Example: Snowbird & Alta
Snowbird is examining the purchase of Alta, which
would become a subsidiary of Snowbird if the merger
goes through. The projected cash flow statement for Alta
(if merged) is shown on the next slide. These cash flows
include all synergistic effects.
Alta’s market-determined beta is 1.63. The risk-free rate
is 10 percent and the market risk premium is 5 percent.

Alta has 10 million shares of stock priced at $6.25. What
is the possible economic gain to this merger, if any?

Takeover Defenses
White Knight - Friendly potential acquirer sought
  by a target company threatened by an unwelcome
  suitor.
Shark Repellent - Amendments to a company
  charter made to forestall takeover attempts.
Poison Pill - Measure taken by a target firm to
  avoid acquisition; for example, the right for
  existing shareholders to buy additional shares at
  an attractive price if a bidder acquires a large
  holding.
Leveraged Buyouts
• The difference between leveraged buyouts
  and ordinary acquisitions:

1. A large fraction of the purchase price is
   debt financed.
2. The LBO goes private, and its share is no
   longer trade on the open market.
Leveraged Buyouts
• The three main characteristics of LBOs:

1.   High debt
2.   Incentives
3.   Private ownership

Spin-offs, etc.
• Spin off -- debut independent company created
  by detaching part of a parent company's assets
  and operations.
• Carve-outs -- similar to spin offs, except that
  shares in the new company are not given to
  existing shareholders but sold in a public
  offering.
• Asset Sales -- the sale of the assets of a division
  to other firms .
EXIT (Overcapacity)
1.   Capital Markets
2.   Internal Control Mechanisms
3.   Regulation and Legal System
4.   Product and Factor Markets

  • 5. Sensible Reasons for Mergers Economies of Scale A larger firm may be able to reduce its per unit cost by using excess capacity or spreading fixed costs across more units. Reduces costs $ $ $
  • 6. Sensible Reasons for Mergers Economies of Scope or Vertical Integration – Control over suppliers “may” reduce costs. – Over integration can cause the opposite effect. Pre-integration Post-integration (less efficient) (more efficient) Company Company S S S S S S S S

  • 9. Sensible Reasons for Mergers Mergers as a Use for Surplus Funds If your firm is in a mature industry with few, if any, positive NPV projects available, acquisition may be the best use of your funds.
  • 10. Dubious Reasons for Mergers • Diversification – Investors should not pay a premium for diversification since they can do it themselves • Empire Building • EPS Game – EX: High PE firm buys Low PE firm -- resulting in higher EPS for merged firm (the bootstrap game)
  • 11. Dubious Reasons for Mergers The Bootstrap Game Selling firm has low P/E ratio (due to low number of shares) After merger, acquiring firm has short term EPS rise Long term, acquirer will have slower than normal EPS growth due to share dilution.
  • 12. Dubious Reasons for Mergers The Bootstrap Game World Enterprises World Enterprises (after buying Muck (before merger) Muck and Slurry and Slurry) EPS $ 2.00 $ 2.00 $ 2.67 Price per share $ 40.00 $ 20.00 $ 40.00 P/E Ratio 20 10 15 Number of shares 100,000 100,000 150,000 Total earnings $ 200,000 $ 200,000 $ 400,000 Total market value $ 4,000,000 $ 2,000,000 $ 6,000,000 Current earnings per dollar invested in stock (EP) $ 0.05 $ 0.10 $ 0.067

  • 14. Sensible Reasons for Mergers • Unused Tax Shields • More Debt Capacity – More Tax Shield – Lower BK Costs
  • 15. Sensible Reasons for Mergers • Inefficient Management (Agency Problems) • Management Controls – Capital Markets (mergers, takeovers, LBOs) • Other Managerial Controls – Board of Directors – Labor Markets (External & Internal) – Compensation Incentives (options)
  • 16. Board of Directors • Independent? • Monitoring • Hire/Fire • Compensation • Strategic Planning
  • 17. Estimating Merger Gains • Questions – Is there an overall economic gain to the merger? – Do the terms of the merger make the company and its shareholders better off? PV(AB) > PV(A) + PV(B)
  • 18. Estimating Merger Gains • Economic Gain Economic Gain = PV(increased earnings) New cash flows from synergies = discount rate
  • 19. Example: Snowbird & Alta Snowbird is examining the purchase of Alta, which would become a subsidiary of Snowbird if the merger goes through. The projected cash flow statement for Alta (if merged) is shown on the next slide. These cash flows include all synergistic effects. Alta’s market-determined beta is 1.63. The risk-free rate is 10 percent and the market risk premium is 5 percent. Alta has 10 million shares of stock priced at $6.25. What is the possible economic gain to this merger, if any?
  • 20. Snowbird & Alta Projected Post-Merger Cash Flows for the Alta Subsidiary as of December 31 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 Net Sales $ 105.0 $ 126.0 $ 151.0 $ 174.0 $ 191.0 Cost of Goods Sold (75.0) (89.0) (106.0) (122.0) (132.0) Selling and Admin.

  • 21. Snowbird & Alta Discount Rate r = r + β (rm − r ) f f = .10 + 1.63 (.05) ≈ .182
  • 22. Snowbird & Alta Terminal Value Assume: terminal growth rate of 10% CF CF (1+ g ) V = 2007 = 2006 2006 r−g r−g = (23.2 − 12.0)(1.10) .182 − .10 = 150.2
  • 23. Snowbird & Alta Total Firm Value V = $6.4 + $8.8 + $9.8 2001 (1.182)1 (1.182)2 (1.182)3 + $10.2 + $161.4 (1.182)4 (1.182)5 ≈ $92.8
  • 24. Snowbird & Alta Possible Economic Gain = Merger Value - Pre-merger Value = $92.8 - $6.25 x 10,000,000 = $92.8 - $62.5 = $30.3 million
  • 25. Snowbird & Alta Change in Snowbird Stockholders’ (Acquirer) Alta (Target) Wealth Bargaining Range Price Paid = Synergy $62.5 $92.8 for Target
  • 26. Takeover Methods Tools Used To Acquire Proxy Contest Companies Tender Offer Acquisition Merger Leveraged Management Buy-Out Buy-Out
  • 27. Takeover Defenses White Knight - Friendly potential acquirer sought by a target company threatened by an unwelcome suitor. Shark Repellent - Amendments to a company charter made to forestall takeover attempts. Poison Pill - Measure taken by a target firm to avoid acquisition; for example, the right for existing shareholders to buy additional shares at an attractive price if a bidder acquires a large holding.
  • 28. Leveraged Buyouts • The difference between leveraged buyouts and ordinary acquisitions: 1. A large fraction of the purchase price is debt financed. 2. The LBO goes private, and its share is no longer trade on the open market.
  • 29. Leveraged Buyouts • The three main characteristics of LBOs: 1. High debt 2. Incentives 3. Private ownership
  • 30. Leveraged Buyouts 10 Largest LBOs in 1980s and 1997/98 examples Value Acquirer Target Industry Year ($mil) KKR RJR Nabisco Food, tobacco 1989 24,720 KKR Beatrice Food 1986 6,250 KKR Safeway Supermarkets 1986 4,240 Thompson Co.
